2.8 suggestion: 'Target' label in snap dropdown misleading

The word 'Target' in the snap dropdown panel suggests that the options (closest/center/median/active) refer to the geometry I want to snap to .

When in fact they refer to parts of the geometry I'm currently grabbing .

The current tooltip confirms this, which states when hovering over one of the options (closest/center/median/active):

Which part to snap onto the target

I suggest renaming these labels as shown (or something to this effect) for clarity's sake.

Thanks for reading.

" Grab by " is not exactly how it work - you can grab be anything but snap by for example " Closest " so better to call it " Snap By "

* @forestgumpovu4 * Sure, that would work too. 'Snap by', 'Snap using', that sort of thing. Anything but 'Target' :)

Isn't it more a "snap origin" ?
